The Complex Engineering Systems Institute (ISCI)
has the pleasure to announce the Workshop LAND – TRANSLOG III, a
special joint workshop, which is a continuation of a series of
previous successful events that were held in 2009 and 2011 in
Chile, and invites you to submit an abstract.
The goal of the first LAND workshop, held in March 2009, was to
gather together researchers in the fields of Location and
Network Design. In parallel, the TRANSLOG Workshop, organized in
December 2009, focused on Transportation and Logistics. However,
it included topics that overlapped with those in the LAND
Workshop, and attracted people that would feel comfortable
attending both workshops. In December 2011 we took one more step
in promoting interaction and exchange of ideas among people
coming from the two fields, and organized the joint event
LAND-TRANSLOG II, which was very successful in exploring common
interests and learning how researchers from other fields address
the same or similar problems. In 2013, our group also organized
the last TRISTAN Conference in the North of Chile. After that
effort, and with the intention of keeping continuity in this
interaction of very interesting and fruitful research topics, we
decided to organize a new version of the LAND – TRANSLOG series,
to be held in the Hotel Santa Cruz Plaza, in the beautiful town
of Santa Cruz-Chile, in March 13 – 17 next year.
Presentations are encouraged focusing on theory, modeling or
applications of Location and Network Design, including but not
limited to Health, Energy, Telecommunications, Retail, Natural
Resources, Environment, etc.; presentations dealing with
methodology, including exact methods, heuristics and simulation
are also welcome. From the transport and logistics side, the
workshop will include topics spanning classic problems in
transportation and logistics, planning and control strategies,
fleet management, routing, timetabling and vehicle scheduling,
crew scheduling, real-time optimization of operational schemes,
among other areas of interest.
